Scarecrow Weekend

Wow, what a weekend.  I have so many people to thank it would fill the Oxhill News.

So would you all give yourselves a pat on the back; it was a wonderful time when so many scarecrows appeared, over 80 in all.

So thank you all scarecrow makers; some of you helped to make so many.

Thanks to Gaynor for organising the teas, to all the cake makers and to all of you that helped on the stalls.

Thanks to the people who put up scarecrows on Friday morning and to all my friends who practically lived with me all week.  Whatever would I have done without you?

Thank you to Kevin for the straw; we could not have done without it.

Thanks to all those who helped on car park duty, to Heather for the trip to Birmingham market for flowers and to all the flower arrangers.  The Church looked wonderful.

A very big thank you to Tom and Carol for donating the pig roast at the dance, and I must not forget David who did his bit for the weather.

One or two people thought it a silly idea that would not make any money, but I had faith in Oxhill people.  Well done, you always come up trumps.

We even had people from Essex who were staying in Stratford who thanked us for a lovely weekend.

A total of over £2000 was raised for Church funds and the Stratford Samaritans.

Thank you, Thank you all,
